Hi, I'm currenty upgrading my Proxmox server which runs with Debian Stretch. While upgrading apt want to remove a mass of packages:

Code:
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  apt-transport-https bridge-utils ceph-common corosync criu cstream dtach faketime fontconfig fontconfig-config fonts-dejavu-core fonts-font-awesome glusterfs-client
  glusterfs-common hdparm ifenslave ipset libacl1-dev libanyevent-http-perl libanyevent-perl libappconfig-perl libapt-pkg-perl libasound2 libasound2-data

Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  proxmox-ve pve-firmware
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  firmware-linux-free linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64
The following packages will be upgraded:
  gcc-6-base libgcc1 libpve-common-perl libstdc++6 linux-image-amd64 linux-libc-dev pve-kernel-4.13.13-6-pve
7 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 91.6 MB of archives.
After this operation, 56.5 MB of additional disk space will be used.

I was rellay bewildered beacause there would then also be removed some essentially packages used by proxmox like qemu-server, pve-manager, pve-qemu-kvm, pve-xtermjs, pve-cluster, pve-container, pve-docs pve-firewall, pve-ha-manager

Is that correct? These also appears on my second server which also runs Debian Stretch.

Thanks in advance!
 
please remove
linux-image-amd64
before upgrading
 
Worked on my second server, but on my other server the packages are still marked as removable when i run apt dist-upgrade

post the full output of "apt dist-upgrade"
